Under the plan, 14 assembly constituencies will each receive ₹50 crore, while the remaining constituencies will get ₹25 crore apiece. Officials say the funds will go towards resurfacing damaged roads, constructing new ones, and improving drainage systems to ensure long-term durability.
The announcement comes against the backdrop of growing public concern over the city’s poor road conditions. Recently, a school bus carrying 20 students toppled after hitting a pothole on Panathur Main Road. Fortunately, all the children were rescued without serious injuries. Recently, a video of schoolgirls went viral on social media, where they described how potholes delay them, affect their studies, and leave them exhausted.
